Custom ROMs are undoubtedly one of the bigger joys that Android users can benefit from. However, rooting your device and flashing these might be a little hard and frustrating for inexperienced Android enthusiasts. Fortunately, the team behind CyanogenMod, which is arguably the most popular custom firmware for Android, tried to make a difference by releasing CyanogenMod Installer several months ago. This user-friendly tool allowed users to flash the popular ROM considerably easier, however, it is no longer available in Google's Play Store.

That would be awesome. Verizon Droid ultra 4.4 shipped to me. Didn't do my research before ordering it. Locked bootloader. Can't do anything with it :'( and I always install cyanogenmod on my phones. I will never buy a tight as locked phone

Flashing the ROM itself isn't actually that hard once you've rooted your phone and installed a custom recovery. I feel that rooting is the hardest part of the process, but it might just depend on what phone you're using.

I agree. Flashing roms is fairly easy but rooting a phone that patched rooting attempts is a pain. It's hard to find a loop hole and with my new phone and i have to use 3rd party programs. My old phone was just easy file transfers. If all android phones prevent rooting in the future, I'll admit that I'll start to prefer apple then.
